New Chandelier

I have been looking for a new chandelier to go over the dining room table. I found lots of stuff that I liked but not at a price I  was willing to pay. Then I found this beauty at the Will  ( That's what I call the Goodwill) .


 bargain price of? Get ready for this 3.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It will replace the french cottage one hanging above the table now. The french one will go in our someday Master bath. ( Lord willing and the creek don't rise) that's what my Grandma use to say!

Here are some of the Pretty's I looked at for ideas in my bargain search

1st up Pottery barn 199.00

2nd up a big old 399.00 pottery barn
 My Purse is shaking just looking at these's price's   haha    No really
3rd up 179.00 pottery barn

4th 69.00 lowes
I think I got it on the money! Literally 3.99 at the Will.  I'll post a picture when we get it hung up. Have a great day


One last thought: I was thinking about these awesome flickering bulbs

Mama like's!.....lol

We are back in our Cottage!

Sorry it's been so long. It's been crazy moving twice in 4 and 1/2 months. But all is settling down (sort of) we are still fixing up the cottage and we are waiting on kitchen cabinets.

So let me get you up to speed. We redid our hard wood floors and they look amazing! We have also repainted the whole house and added a laundry room/ Pantry. I will post pictures of everything as we go. Plus try and find pictures of what it looked like before.

Love how the hardwood floors look now



I love the new warm colors. The Kitchen, dining room and hallway are providence olive.
And the living room is abingdon putty . It looks a little yellow in the picture, but it's a real creamy color.
